Finally decided to brake out the SM insert for the Chaney grill. Cut up a couple of chickens yesterday and marinated them for 24 hours using a recipe I had for Cornell Chicken. Fired up the grill, placed the chicken on the rack over the coals, and raised it to where they wouldn't burn.
I mopped the chicken during the cook with some of the marinade that was held in reserve and kept turning the chicken pieces and adjusting the height of the rack until they were done. I have to admit, it was fun drinking beer and tending the fire. Reminded me of the days when I was part of Indian Guides with my son, except I never gave the boy any of my beer. We were part of a renegade tribe of Indian Guides that a bunch of us dads formed that wasn't a part of the official version of the Guides. The real Indian Guides didn't allow the dads to bring beer and schnapps to the camp outs.
Anyway, everything worked out fine on this maiden cook using the SM insert. The chicken came out a bit salty for my taste. Next time I will cut back some on the salt in the marinade. Sorry, no plated pictures. Had to brake down the SM insert and get it back in the shed before my wife got home from work.
